How does the math in stat boosting moves and mega evolution work?

Jan. 21, 2020

Let’s say a Pokemon has 100 base stat in regular form and 150 in mega form. Correct me if I misunderstood how this works. If the Pokemon uses swords dance in regular form, it’s stat increases to 200. If it mega evolves after using swords dance in regular form, will the stat be 250 or 300?

All stat stages like swords dance and stat-enhancing items like choice specs and evioliteact on the stats in the Pokemon’s summary screen, not the base stats (or the acid stats :P). The “summary screen stat” is calculated using one ofthese formulas.

So if a Pokemon has 100 base physical attack and max level, EVs, IVs, and nature in physical attack, then its “summary screen” physical attack would be 328. Swords dance would increase it to 656. Increasing base physical attack to 150 would increase the “summary screen” physical attack to 438. Having both 150 base physical attack and swords dance would increase it to 876.source
